Abstract
The Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) has joined forces with the British Standards Institution (BSI) to help shape the standards for gas-powered commercial catering equipment.

The FEA are looking for new members to join BSI’s commercial catering (gas) committee GSE/19. The FEA says this is an ‘exceptional opportunity’ to influence standards, in both the UK and Europe. 

Gas remains the power source for most catering cooking equipment and will remain a significant part of the market for years to come. Manufacturers are developing more sustainable gas-powered options, and gas is still delivering solutions in situations where alternatives aren’t available for commercial catering. 

GSE/19 helps to set the standards for gas cooking equipment, and it’s led by FEA’s technical and policy director, Andy Threlfall. Currently GSE/19 is looking to recruit more members, from companies who manufacture, supply, service or test commercial gas catering equipment.

Threlfall said: “This is a great opportunity to shape the policies that directly affect the equipment we design, manufacture, supply and service. Members can help create the standards and regulations for commercial gas cooking equipment. Experienced professionals getting involved in providing input is essential to ensure standards actually work for the reasons they were created.”
